Mom, Dad, I like you to meet my girlfriend. You can see her on my iPhone here. … No Mom, she can’t come to dinner. But we can prop up the iPhone on the table, and she can watch us eat!”

That is exactly how she (Samantha) went on dates with Theodore. But lack of body aside…how do you keep a relationship together with a being whose intelligence and omniscience begins to become Godlike while her ability to experience space/time like you is dwindling away due to her processing capability approaching infinity? That is the essence of the Singularity.

“It’s like I’m reading a book, and it’s a book I… deeply love. But I’m reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you. And the words of our story. But it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world. It’s where everything else is that, I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live in your book anymore.”

It actually became heartbreaking.
